      France. Tbe Bill To Maintain The Duty On...

      FRANCE . Tbe bill to maintain the duty on _potahls liquors , was carried in tbe Assembly , on Thursday afternoon , by 418 to 245 . The Court of Assizes of the U pper Garonne has acquitted the persons accused there of being accomplice * to the insurrection in Paris ofthe lSih of June . M . L ? outre , responsible editor of tbe * Reforme , ' was yesterday arrested , in execution of a judgment pronounced against him two months back , by which he is condemned to six weeks' imprisonment .

      Pakis , Friday . —The debate in the Chamber today turned first upon tbe question of subsidies to AI < = ate Video , government demanding l , 150 , 0 Q 0 fr . for that purpose . But as the report had only been presented to-day , and notices bad been g iven to nad it . government consented to take 5 Q 0 , ( JQQfr . on act-cunt . Then came the debate on the demand for the _payment in advance of the first quarter in advance of ihe budget of 1850 . AI . Santeyra said tbat if mc _.- ; iey was voted it implied a confidence in the ministry . He knew that the money was necessary , bu' he wished also to show that he had no confidence in she present cabinet . An amendment proposed by tb ? : hon . member , was , however , rrjected _, and the law passed . The motion relative to tbe circulation of the Bank of France was under debate when the _pnfc-: left _.

      The committee appointed te examine tbe proposition _tended to alter article 1781 of iLe civil code , -which declares tbat , in _disputes _ht-tween masters and _servants , the former are to he believed on tlieir 2 f _sertson , has had its report presented by M . Chegaray . In what relates to masters and servants , it recommends that no change be effected . In the point which concerns masters and workmen , the committee declares tbat there would have been no necessity for modifications in tbe present legislation , had not the extension given hy the jurisdiction of _Prudhoi-ime insured to the workmen greater guarantees against tbeir employers . As it is , no modification is dremed by the committee to be necessary . The following is oar Paris correspondent ' s letter dated _Fridav , five p . m .:

      —* M . Emile de Girardin , in tbe * Presse , of this day , _publishes his promised critique on the ac < s of the _government since the 20 th December . 184 S , the day on which Loois _Nzpuieon took the » atlis in the Constituent Assembly as President of the Republic Att-r enumerating the various acts of the government M . Girardin says that the events of the past ytar may be summed up in the following words :- — * A < .- _( s of severity and not one reform . Fau'ts and _noi an amelioration . . Expenses and n _.-u one _economy . Words and not one act . The year is concluded with credits voted to the amount ot 1 , 6 / 5 millions , and by an excess of expenditure over the receipts cf 290 millions francs . '

      ' The Republican papers ate nnt more favourable than if- de Girardin to tbe government ofthe President , Tbe ' National' says : — 'A year _a-to , day for day , hour for hoir _, M . Louis Buonaparte , proclaimed President of the _French _R- 'public , pronounced the following words : —• I will _sesk al ! tbe means calculated to relieve the stiff-rings of thai _gen-roos and intelligent people wbo have « iven me so signal a _nioif of their confidence . " _To-ihy , 20 th of December , 1 S _49 , on the _proportion of Al . Louis Buonaparte , the most onerous tax for tin ; people , the tax on liquors , abolished by the _Constituent _Assembly , has been ve-es _^ abfeVied in iVm Legislative Assembly by a majoritv of 418 tn 245 .

      • It is now a year , says the 'Republ ' _que , ' ' since tbe President of tbe _Republic bas es _* rci ? ed his / unctions . What bas his _gsvsfeTntnent _achieved ? _"WTnar acts deserving tbe approbation and praise of _impartial history have marked the first year of his . in wer ? Amongst them none are more _remarkable than the prosecutions directed against tbe republican press . Now , these prosecutions amount to 804 , and the condemnations pronounced inflict . _nVs to the amount of 413 . 300 L ( exclusive of costs and the additional war tax of _onotnuli ) and 213 y « ars' _imprisonment . We conceive that the « _-leet of the lOih of December should _disdain _popularity !'

      A Socialist banquet was _annoui-ced far ihe 16 th inst . at _Tuulouse . in honour of M . Madier de Montjau , and some other political persons lately acquitted by tbe Court of As *' _z-s . The company had a _' reariy assembled in the room ' -ailed the Grand Orient , when the police nterfered and called on the persons present , about ICO in number , to disperse . The guests at once withdrew without any _disturbanca taking place .

      The' _Repuhlician de la Mosslle has been seized by order ofthe Attorney-General for having pu _b - lished an article containing an attack on the right which the President of the Republic derives from the Constitution—an offence against the person of the President—an sctack on the principle of Universal Suffrage—all tending to excite the hatred and contempt of the people against the government ofthe Republic . ft .....

' The offensive portun of tbe document appears to be the closing words : —* « "Vive la Repablique Democratique et Sociale . " Hurrah . ' —Accounts from MontpeHier of the 22 nd inst . state that Socialist doctrines have made aa alarming progress in tbat toirn , and that the audacity of the demagogues is extraordinary . Gronps are often seen parading the streets at noonday , shouting , ' Vive la Repuhlique Rouge . '

      Some disturbances bave occurred at Ceret and at Aries , in consequence of the dismissal of the _Sub-Prefects of thos ; places by the Minister ol the Interior . The disturbances were _snpprmed by tbe military .

      ITALY . PIEDMONT .-Lelters from Turin , of the 16 th , announce that tbe Sardinian Government hav < _- refused to grant letters of naturalisation to Terenzio _Alamiani , formerly Prime Minister of Pope Pius IX ., who had bean elected a deputy for Genoa . . The ' Piedmontese Gazette' contains a notice inviting the deputies of the new Chamber to meet en the I 9 ib for the despatch of preliminary matters . The' _Nafioaal' of Turin , ofthe I 6 th inst ., mentions numerous political arrests that hare taken place at _G-jnoa , in consequence of the police having discovered some traces of an intended political movement .

      According to the ' _Legge , ' the continental elections of the Chamber of Turin are all known . Tbe results are stated as follows : —Right and right centre , 116 ; left and left centre , 64 . A rumour is current at Turin tbat AL Deronrgbenta _, one of tbe ministers , is about to resign . Opening of the Chambers . —The Chambers were opeued on the 20 th inst ., by the King in person . ROME . —Letters received in _Tottlon from Rome state that the Pope was less disposed than ever to return to his capital . The protest and _persuasions of General Baraguay d'Uiilers had had no effect with His Holiness . It was feaTed that Pins IX . would insist on the evacuation of Rome by the French troops .

      Dec . 10 . —Things seem hastening to a crisis iu Rome , and we shall soon probably know what is to tie the final result of the French expedition ; whether tbe Roman States are to be evacuated by the French or to be taken possession of—whether we are to have a complete restoration of the Popedom in all its former rights and prerogatives , or only a sub--i lized Popedom , under foreign control , and under a military protectorate . Wbo are to be tbe protectors of Rom- , if the French depart ? The Spaniards nre already on the way back to their native home . Ihe Austrians are , indeed , near at hand : but the great professed object of tlie French expedition eras to keep them out of Rome . The only other militarv

      force to which a transference could be made is the _"SeapoYitan , and it is much to be doubted whether a Neapolitan array of occupation could long keep possession of Rome and the adjoining territory , for although many Romans whose trade has been injured by the _rcvoiusion , now desire a restoration _^ of the former state of things , there can he no doubt that to the bulk of tbe people the priestly government is as odious as before . And although the French army of occupation is now weary of Rome , and of ; he work impressed upon them here , and would he g lad ( 8 _shig the'C / _wnt * du depart' any day iu tbe week , yet I do not believe they will again wholly evacuate Rome . I am rather inclined to believe

      that the unsettled state of things here , and the threatenings of war in Europe at no distant period , will induce them to remain until they ate driven ultimately by the course of events ( which in these days are manifestly stronger than men ) to bring the Pope and Italy info more complete subjection to foreign control . It should never he forgotton by every watchful observer of the times that _« tbe French Revolution , ' as a British modern historian well remarks , * was not so much a revolt against the governmen t and institutions , as the morality and faith of former times ; ' and although a considerable reaction in favour of Roman Catholicism has lately

      taken place in France , yet the hulk of the people , especially the army , are _untouched by it . I conceive , therefore , that M . Falloux and his coadjutors have 'm treached themselves in sending a French expedition to Rome . The French soldiers and officers are > after all , almost to a man , the children of . Voltaire and of the revolution ; their ideas , passions , language , and whole current of thought , are antisacerdotal ; they are involuntary propagandists on liberal ideas by their example , and by the journals of France which are circulated in Home . Many times bave I been to St . Peter ' s since my arrival in Romr , and never have I seen the French officers and soldiers whom I met there treat the reliiious

      ceremonies of tbe place with any othpr notice than tbat of _indifference and contempt ; in short , in this , as in evf rything else , they proved themselves to he the grandchildren of ' 89 in the past , and tbe children of ' 30 and ' 48 in the present century . The time may come when they may he more active propagandists of liberal ideas than they are at present . December 14 . —I had expect _? d in my present communication to be able to announce some definite results arising from the late visit " of General Baraguay _d'Hilliers to Portici . I am assured tha military diplomatist has entirely failed , and that neither the _Popfnor cardinals are likely to return to Rome for the present . His Holiness remains at Portici , and am under the impression tbat up to the present moment he is as far from the Eternal Citv as on the

      day when diplomacy greased the wheels for his flight . M . de Corcelles has continued to hover about like a bird which has lost its prey . The Jesuites are again thrown hack , for the moment , to _fincer the rosary of Hope . NAPLES , Dec . 10 . —The government plan for ah eking the King from his constitutional oath is progressing . Prom the provinces 1 learn petitions , praying his Alajesty to annul the constitution , are _no-. v being presented to alf classes , particularly _landowners . It may he easily imagined few will have the courage t <> refuse signing under tbe despotism

      of a _police which observes no law but that of force . I know of nu traces whatever of the _consliiution existing at the present moment , excepting that of the official journal , which still retains the word _'Constituzionale . ' The government has violated every constitutional law since the closing of the Chambers : it fixed the budget without any vote of tbe Chambers ; ' decree ? ' have stifled tbe freedom of the press ; the sort o' habeas corjnis of the new law has been set at nought ; the kin ? has failed to call the chambers within the limited time ; and , in fact , it would be next to impossible for the most corrupt set of men to meet a National _Assembly after what has taken

      place . The only plan open is that adopted , viz ., to frighten people into a pTayer to the king for the destruction of the name constitution . It will he said _, after these plans are completed that the majority did not desire a free and open government . In truth , this is the great game of his Neapolitan Alajesty , and I can refer to his organ in the British press as a proof of this statement ; but if this be the case , I ask , why have so many arrests taken place for constitutional opinions , and why have twotbirds of tbe nobility and nearly all the _educated men of the kingdom fled from Naples ? I record the well-known facts , the reader will supply the answer .

      GERMANY . 1 AST ACT OF THE FRANKFORT FARCE . FRANKFORT , Dec 20 . —The Archduke John ' s resignation of his office as Regent of Germany has at last taken place . The following is a translation of the protocol of this transaction : — ' Done at Frankfort , in the palace of his Imperial Highness the Archduke and Regent John , this day , the 20 ; h dav Of December , 1349 . M hereas his imperial Hi ghness the Archduke and Regent John has repeatedly

      expressed a w : sh to be enabled to _resun the office of Regent of Germany ; and wherea 3 certain negotiations for the creation of another organ of federal and central power have , on tbe 31 st of September , 1849 , terminated in a convention between the re ' _spective governments of Prussia and Austria ; and the German governments having notified tbeir adhesion to the said convention ; and his Alajest y the King of Prussia having appointed his Lieutenant . General ( Baron Radowi _' z ) and his President ( Dr .

      France. Tbe Bill To Maintain The Duty On...

      I Botticher ); and Hie Majesty the Emperorof Austria having likewise appointed Charles Baron Kubek-Kuban a Privy Councillor to His said Imperial Majesty and the Field-Marshal-Lieutenant Charles Baron Schoolials _, to act as members of the Federal Commission as created by virtue of the convention aforesaid ; and the said Commissioners having been in dtntified bv an examination of their respectivewarrants , his Imperial Highnes the Archduke and Regent John has invited th _« said Commissioners to receive and to testify to his resignation . ' Dr . Mettenius acted as clerk to the Commission . At on e o ' clock p . m . on the 20 th of December his Imperial Hig hness the Archduke Regent entered the Council-room , accompanied by the -gentlemen

      farming his cabinet , viz , the President of the _Cabinet _' and Secretary-at-War , PrinceSa > _n-Wittgenstein-BeAehurg ; tbe Minister of Foreign Affairs and First Lord of the Admiralty , Air . Jochmuch ; the Minister of Justice , of Home Affairs , and of Commerce . Mr , Detmold ; and the Minister of Finance , Mr . Merk . Whereupon the Commissioners of the j [ wo Govern _, ments produced the convention wbich was conc _' uded _between the Governments of Prussia and Austria on the 30 th of September , together with the declara . tion of adhesion of the German governments , excepting the Governments of Oldenburg ( although ther * is a promise of assent ) and of Luxemburg ; the adhesion of the King of Holland , who has declared his adhesion to the convention as Duke o f Limburg , beinir pre-snpposed for his Duchy of Limburg .

      These documents and the warrants of the said Commissioners are added to the minutes . His Imperial _HighnesB the Archduke and Regent condescended to make the following declaration •—t Gentlemen . J _* ou are aware that I have long wished to _resign my office . But since when I took that office the Federal Diet pronounced its own dissolution , and since the National Assembly followed its example at a latter period , I saw that I could not vield to my inclination without breaking the

      bonds which contain the German States , thereby surrendering Germany to danger and to all but ruin . ' My duties compelled me to remain until another organ for the discharge of tbe cammon business of the country should have been created . That moment is come . The two bearers of my powetfwere the totality of the German government and the German National Assembly . My feelings compel me to give ray sincerest thanks to them for their co-operation and assistance .

      ' The National Assembly exists no longer . Tbat Assembly hastened on its own end by overstepping its legal limits , and by making the widest strides in a false direction at a time when the course of events was such that the slightest deviation from the legal side of the question must necessarily lead to certain

      . ' The decline and fall of the National Assembly is a lesson to the German people . It shows that there is but one way for our Constitution—the way of calm and intrepid progress and of a conscientious respect for justice and law . ' After the dissolution ef the National Assembly , I could resign my office only to the totality of the German governments , and Austria and Prussia have concluded a provisional convention , which the other members of the Confederation thought proper to accept .

      'Pursuant to ray eventual consent , which I gave on the Cth of October , and according to paragraph seven of the said convention , I resign my office as Regent , and I resign the rights and duties of the Confederation into the hands of their Majesties of Austria and Prussia . 1 1 have the consciousness of having faithfully laboured to _cvrcisemy power for the glory and the ffelfare of the country , ' Success has not yet crowned the endeavour to surround that country with other Constitutional _honds , to insure and strengthen its greatness and

      p 9 ner . But the old bonds are preserved , and peace is secured . But , I shall not he able to look with pleasure on the time of my administration until the futurity of the country is secured by a more lasting union . But my cares on the subject of that union are lightened now that I see the subject under protection of two of the most powerful among the German _gsvernmenls . If these two will act in harminy , if they will cleave to their right , and thus lead tbe way , the other governments may safely follow them as their leaders and success will crown the work .

      ' May GermaOT profit by experience , and may ber fates , by the assistance of Almighty God , be brought to a prosperous issue by the harmony and the patriotism ot the German Princes , and by the gond spirit of the nation . ' After his Imperial Highness had finished his speech , the Austrian Privy Councillor , Baron Kubeck , replied to it by thanking his Highness for the intrepid manner in -which the Archduke had executed the important functions of bis office during a time of unparalleled danger ; and the proceedings being thus terminated , the records of the transacdon were signed by the following persons : — Archduke John , Wittgenstein , Jochmus , Detraold _, Merk , _Kubek-Kuhau ( Austrian Commissioner , ) _Scbonbals ( Austrian Commissioner , ) _Badowits ( Prussian Commissioner , ) Dr . Botticher . ( Prussian Commissioner . )

      Two members of the ex-German Assembly of Frankfort , Dr . _Hcldmann and M . Bogen , were arrested at Darmstadt , on the 23 rd , on ths charge of high treason . BERLIN , Dec 19 . —The second _Cha-nber _adj-urned to-day until the 4 th of January , 1850 , The Upper Chamber has adopted , hy a large majority , the law for the regulation ofthe parishes . Dec 20 . —The Upper _Cha-siber adjourned to-day to the 4 h January , after _tesolving at thc last moment , in accordance with its usual character , not to liberate from prison the well-known democrat , Temme , who has been elected a member of the Upper Chamber . Herr Temme has been confined some months for participating in the resolutions of th * German National Assembly at Sluttgavdt .

      Dr . Rioger , of Prague , has heen ordered to leave Berlin by the police authorities , it is reported on the requisition of the Austrian ambassador . The German journals bring little news of interest . A telegraphic despatched from Stuttgard , dated the evening of the 22 nd December , announces the dissolution of the _AVurtemberg Chambers by royal command . SAXONY . —The Lower Chamber has affirmed the motion for an address to the crown , praying for an amnesty for the persons _implicated in the insurrection of May . The general committee of the _Democratic party , _Ua 3 resolved to issue a declaration against the party taking any share in the forthcoming elections to the German parliament .

      AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . Vienna . —It is rumoured on the exchange that the government intend to make a forced loan for the Lomhardy Venetian kingdom to the amount of _ninety millions Austrian Uvres , at four per cent . ; three-fifths of which are to he paid in coin , and twofifths in treasury notes . Accounts from Transjlvania are most unsatisfactory . The Roraani and Saxon populations are at daggers drawn , and the war of races ready to break out again .

      INSURRECTION IN SERV _1 A . An electrical telegraph report , confirmed by the correspondent of the ' Dail y News , ' supplies the following important intelligence _- — Vienna , Dec . 20 . —The courier wbo came in last nig ht from Semlin brought intelligence , which has thrown the government into great agitation . A rebellion on the roost formidable scale has broken out among the Servians . Syrmia , Slavonia , and the military boundaries arc up in arms against the Austrian government . The Slavonian and Servian boundary regiments have revolted , and raised tbe

      cordon of the Turkish frontier , so that their rear is fully secured . From the brethren of their race in Turkey they are assured be ' orehand of all supporta _citenmstance which will complicate the relations already sufficiently epineuses between Austria and the Porte . The boundary regiments , which bave revolted , are among the bravest and hardiest soldiers in thc Austrian service . The ground of their rising is resistance to the decree of Nov . 18 , organising the woiwodeshqft . The chief movement is in the Syrraian , Peterwardein , and _Tehaikiat military districts , which are exasperated at being excluded from the wo modeshaft .

      I beg particularly to call your attention to the circumstances of the cordons being raised as a most important feature in this insurrection , as all those Hungarian and Polish refugees who have the means of escaping from the custody of the Porte will be thus able , without difficulty , to join the Servian insurgents . The military force alone of the rebels is estimated at 120 , 000 men , with 110 cannon ; and if they are joined by the Croats , which appears highly probable , they will have 200 , 000 men , with 300 cannon . The numbers of the insurgents are daily swelled by de-

      serters from the Austrian reg iments % _Peterwerdein , Ea There a _ppears in the ' Reiclmeitung' a letter of the 10 th from Belgrade , which has createdI much sensation . The confessions of numerous ; desertions and great discontent give room to the public to surmise how much worse the real state of affairs must be . TURKEY AND RUSSIA . Tbe Turkish government seem anxious to show to Europe that the idea wbicb some time since nrevailed of the Hungarian refugees being badly _Lated their arrival in the Ottoman territory is

      on entirely false . A body of Italians who bad served under Bern lately arrived at _Adnaaople from Widdin . The son of the Pasha went out to meet them at the head ot a body of troops , and they made a sort of triumphal entry into the town : The Turkish soldierB lined the way as they passed along , and thev were accompanied by the military bands of the garrison , playing martial airs . On the day after the arrival of this Italian brigade , a grand funeral service was performed in one of the for the

      churches , with the permission of the Pasha , repose of the _soiils of those who fell in the late struggle in Hungary . M . de Titoff and Count de Sturmer bave both complained loudly to tbe Grand Vizier of the conduct of the Governor of Adrianople , who gave so triumphiai a reception to these Italian rebels . Dip lomatic relations are suspended by the Porte and the Allied Imperial Powers , and yet the representatives of Russia and Austria make their complaints as haughtily to the Grand Vizier as thoug h they had just placed the Porte under some great obligation . .

      The' Ost Deutsche Post » ( a Vienna paper ) has letters from Odessa , of the 5 th inst-, stating that a Russian flotilla of five ships of tbe line of 100 guns has arrived in the port of that city . This squadron is intended to take a transport of troops to _Sebasto . pol . Great activity is displayed in all the Russian ports and dockyards in the Black Sea .

      SPAIN . Letters . from Saragossa mention that the diligence which set out from that place , on the 13 th , was stopped by six highwaymen , who o » dered the driver , coach guard , and passengers , to lay on the ground in the middle of the road . In the rotunda , or hinder partition of the diligence , there happened to be two civic guards , to whom the driver of the diligence had g iven a lift on _thsir way to their post .

      These then , instead of getting put with the rest remained in their places , and on the captain of the highwaymen looking in to see whether there were any more passengers , shot him dead , and then jumped out attacked the others , sword in hand . The noise of the firing attracted the companies of the civic guards , who were trudging on at a distance , and the hig hwaymen were pursued , but without e ffect . The body of the chief was brought to Saragossa , where he is well known .

      Letters from the provinces state that the partial elections are all in favour of the moderado party , the _progressistas showing remarkable apathy , or limiting themselves to grumbling about the undue influence of the authorities and the acts of illegality everywhere exercised . To day ' s post , like yesterday ' s , brings us a budget of assassinations , highway robberies , complaints of the excessive contributions and universal paralysation of trade . The accounts from the province of Murcia are most distressing ,

      In that province , one of the most fertile in Spain , it has not rained for so long that vegetation is almost null . The inhabitants emigrate to Africa , or to the adjoining provinces , and the government when appealed to , to lower the contributions there , and make canals , and give the hapless labourer means of employment , is utterly at a loss what to do , there being no money in the treasury for the common necessities of government , much less to give without much prospect of returns .
